The North East Independent School District is taking suggestions from the public to replace Robert E. Lee High School's name. From now until Sept. 25, San Antonians can visit NESID's website to submit their ideas.

Learning from the now-contentious namesake of the high school, the board asks that name suggestions reflect an idea rather than person and "embody a wholesome image that would be expected to stand the test of time."

The district's stipulation, however, did not stop San Antonians from proposing celebrities when asked on a mySA Facebook post what they would rename the school.
